@georgia inside the hindu folder?
@meowski it was originally named "other mystics" but all of them were christian so I just named it christian lol. I think its a charming defect.
@georgia move it up a level. that is blasphemy
@meowski I see Christ as an incarnation just like Krishna so its not too weird for me
@georgia incarnation of what though
@meowski the supreme lord
@georgia right, the one and only, not in a subfolder of a bunch of weird monsters
@meowski hinduism has a Supreme Lord, known impersonally as unconditioned Brahman, and personally as Bhagavan or Ishvara. almost all modern hindu traditions are monotheistic in the sense that they regard lesser Gods as just higher beings kinda like angels or saints dispensing various functions, but only regard one being as possessing true infinitude, omnipotence, omniscience, splendor, glory, prowess, beauty, etc. the true distinction isnt polytheism vs monotheism its the monism in much of hindu thought, and the belief in the divinity of the soul.
@georgia does Jesus even exist and is he recogized as the son of God in the hindu tradition though?

@meowski not in any tradition im aware of except new agey ones, unlike the buddha who is often considered an incarnation by vaishnavas, although this is a later development not much fleshed out. kinda like how kapila the father of samhkya is considered an incarnation and both him and the buddha denied the existence of Ishvara so theyre both kinda inconvenient in ways.
